Supreme Court of Arkansas
Samuel A. Perroni, Appellant v. David Sachar, Executive Director of the Arkansas Judicial Disciplin — Wynne, J…
March 2, 20172017 Ark. LEXIS 64
Summary
Justice Wynne dissented from the conclusion that the circuit court lacked subject-matter jurisdiction, reasoning that the complaint sought declaratory relief concerning the constitutionality of statutes and procedural rules rather than appellate review of the Commission's dismissal. He also disagreed with the circuit court's standing ruling, concluding that appellant was prejudiced by allegedly unconstitutional Commission procedures. Justice Hart, dissenting, likewise would have treated the action as a declaratory-judgment challenge, while Justice Goodson concurred in part but would have affirmed on standing grounds.
